Richard Lamoureux Poet Terzanelle

A Billion Colored Rain Drops

I'm falling, falling, up from my rage!
Words unwound in convoluted strings.
All my thoughts rejected by the page.

I am a lost bird with backward wings.
Trying hard to escape my restraints.
Words unwound in convoluted strings.

I look towards heaven and the saints.
Grasping for answers to set me free.
Trying hard to escape my restraints.

An upside down backwards symphony.
All those notes I wish to contain.
Grasping for answers to set me free.

Like a billion drops of colored rain.
Waiting to be absorbed by my pen.
All those notes I wish to contain.

I will never be the same again.
I'm falling, falling, up from my rage.
Waiting to be absorbed by my pen.
All my thoughts collected on the page.

Darlene Gifford September 18, 2014 at 10:47 AM God is in every one of those colored raindrops and pulled you out of writer's block to give you this great poem to share with us. The rainbow always follows the rain. I'd say with this one, it must have been a double rainbow! Blessings to you, Richard Richard Lamoureux September 19, 2014 at 8:43 AM Thanks Darlene, each beautiful rainbow is evidence that our Savior is a promise keeper.

Monterey Sirak May 10, 2014 at 7:27 AM Oh the frustration of poet's block. You tell it so well. Waiting and wondering if another poem will come, the ink trickling slowly, then wham! a deluge, and the words come in a torrent. Richard Lamoureux May 10, 2014 at 8:23 AM It has been a long time since I have experienced writers block but the last time I did, it lasted several years. The last three years have been quite the ride. Thanks for your thoughtful visit.

Paul Callus May 10, 2014 at 5:32 AM Very passionate write Richard. Admire the way you give vent to frustrated feelings. Fortunately those restraints are usually self-made...thus we can rely on ourselves for solutions. [ some yoga might help...headstands:) ] // paul Richard Lamoureux May 10, 2014 at 8:25 AM Thanks Paul, at the moment no headstands required.
